Best gps/navigation app Amazing app and app community. Everyone's looking out for everyone which is hard to show through apps lol. This apps map is constantly being updated so you are aware of all distractions from objects on road to hidden cops. I've had the app for almost 2 years and have seen 3 cops that weren't on the map before I witnessed them however waze has probably saved me around 4 tickets HAHAHAHAHA EAT IT PIGS

Lots of potential The hazards editing should be more relaxed. Why can't I remove hazard from opposite lane which I clearly see that it does not exist. They should define some range like 50m radius where you can modify those. Other thing is that waze points has some "mile" based bonus points.

Great idea My partner Works away alot and we use it as a way for him to let me know when he's on his way back. Would be better if I could track the whole journey at random points instead of having to search for him on the whole map

Great GPS and strongly recommend it Used this app while taking a vacation to Pigeon Forge Tennessee and decided to put my Garmin GPS in the glove box and awesome reporting of traffic problems along with police

Has become mediocre Waze used to be my preferred satnav, but only because of Serena's voice. Now that's gone, what can Waze offer that others don't? Social media? Meh. The current UK female voice says "afore sixty" instead of "ay four sixty" for the A460 road, etc. Really annoying. Uninstalled.

Great App I love this app. 99% of the time this app keeps me moving around highly congested areas. There were a few times this app lead me straight into parked traffic but those instances are rare for me. I recommend this app to everyone

Most of the time right Mostly it's correct and I trust it 95% of the time, but the interface is too cartoony and not clear enough to specify the right turn to make in complex on and off ramps to freeways. Examples are all over Boston and new York city.

Learn to trust it. There have been a couple times where I thought Waze was sending me on a wild goose chase only to find out that I was being routed around a major traffic snarl but it was too late as I kept on what I thought was the best route. I've learned to trust the routes that Waze sends me on. Love it...is an understatement in a major metropolitan area.

"No Satellite Connection" My Waze GPS gives me this note " No satellite connection " way too many times. Recently on a trip it failed me time after time, when I needed it most. I always had relied on it, maybe too much but I had to switch to another service that does stay connected. A pity, it was great.

Great great This app is absolutly brilliant and free its a club with no fees. It gets me where i'm going without any fuss. And it can track you from morning to dusk just so others can see if you are stuck . Cheers to the creator x

Great app This app saved me from getting stuck in traffic behind a very bad wreck due to someone ahead reporting it. It does not always create the shortest route, especially in rural areas, newer versions seem to have improved this.

Best Navigation App Ever The user based alert & information system is an amazing idea and is nearly perfection with it's accuracy. Also, the speed of routing updates is much faster than any other app and functions flawlessly on the fly when adjusting a route for traffic.

Near destination I love this app, but the update for it which lead to asking a picture when your near your location is stupid. It blocks the house number, and since I live in NYC if your caught using your cellphone for any reason you get a ticket. Revert it back to when it didn't ask you for a picture until you actually arrived at the location.

Waze Love it for general driving, but wish you could specify the type of car you are driving. When using it while driving a normal size car, it is pretty close to perfect. When I'm driving my big truck (or we are pulling our 5th wheel), some of the options are not viable. Love to see an option for vehicle size.

Brilliant app I can't believe how good this app is. It has made my TT completely redundant. The live traffic is absolutely excellent. You need a high output (2.1a) car charger though or the phone battery gets hammered and dies at what seems the most critical point of the journey.

No network connection still persist Few months ago my waze was flawless, until one day i got an update. I cant remember which version, but since then i can't use my waze unless i change other providers or connect to wifi. Yep, my waze and my provider didnt get along, i ask my provider they said the app is the problem because before the update everything was fine. I ask waze support, you said it was the provider, because with other provider everything is ok... Btw I use XL Axiata from Indonesia

I use it a lot since new in town... I could only use it when stationary since the voice didn't work. However, I found the settings and TURNED ON the sound. I like how it works for showing me accidents, delays, and cops. However, there were some things that were from the day before. I look forward to using it in October when I travel back to California again.

Best GPS ever... I would recommend this app for GPS use, it shows a lot more accurate info then any other app, with best and fast route calculation. Also with more info on the road regarding traffic, hazard, police, accident, stopped cars, and etc.

Good I've used this for years, prefer it over the others. The only suggestion I have is having offline maps. I can't tell you how many times I've had to find a free WiFi hotspot because of bad data connection on the road. Once Google maps puts out their offline version, I will sadly be switching back to them. Please consider, I'd love to see it added.

Don't drive without it! This app warned me that police were ahead twice in one trip and could've saved me a ticket, or two! Then, I noticed that someone was pulled over by police. ... Assuming he didn't have the app... It's really an amazing app. Best routes every time.

Can't drive without this! I just couldn't live without Waze! It's so easy to use. Better than any satnav. I love it because other users can tell you if there are any issues like roadworks, incidents or police matters etc. Plus I can send my girlfriend an ETA on my arrival so she doesn't have to phone me and interrupt my awesome singing skills in the car... Now if it could just drive the car for me?
